Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Extremely poor Office staff
Been an established patient with Dr Slavin since 2020. Dr. Slavin unfortunately the staff gives him a bad name. Being that his wife is the office manager Dr. Slavin doesn’t have a say so. Rude staff, unprofessional, and incompetent staff. Not recommended to deal with these kind of patients when in pain. They don’t care of patients.

Excellent Doctor
I came to Dr Slaven from another pain management doctor, who had told me he couldn’t help me because I was fat. Dr Slaven took right over. We made a plan and I’ve been there for years now five or six years. compared to the other doctor I went to the wait is nothing. for a while it was a problem with seating, but it seems to be better now. I have had a few of the staff not be in a good mood, but by no means rude we all have bad days. He always seems to care for me and now that he has a doctors assistants there I don’t get to see him much but when I do he seems happy to see me. He is a wonderful doctor and I given his information to people I know and they too are happy with him. Going to him is the best thing I’ve done in my life for my life.

Dishonest Staff
The Dr. is great, just wish he had an admin staff to match. I was seen by the Dr. twice and received a neck injection, next thing I know I am refused service for having an open worker's comp case on a different part of my body. Their staff made up lies that I repeatedly missed my appoitments and that I refused to provide them with my insurance information.

Dr. Slavin is the best. I am sorry to say that at this time I had to stop seeing him, because I cannot tolerate his front desk staff. His office manager in the Weslaco office is the worst. Rude, lies about everything. Never returns calls. Very rude. I have been is so much pain for two months now, and nowhere to go. I have asked to speak to the doctor and or Pa,s with no luck...
